subject: Blocking separate lines?

Hi, Wally. You asked in a recent post ...
===========================================================================
WB*>for example, if I want to block and move lines 1, 4 and 6 and leave the 
rest
WB*>there, is there any way of doing this with one command?
WB*>Got it?
===========================================================================
... Got it. QEDIT allows you to mark only 1  block  of  contiguous
text at a time, so the quick answer is no.  However,  if  you  use
the exact same sequence of moving lines (from the  same  positions
to the same destination) often, then you would  find  it  a  great
timesaver to write a little macro to perform  the  whole  sequence
for you. For example, something like:
        Jump  "6"  Return MarkLine
        Jump "234" Return MoveBlock
        Jump  "4"  Return MarkLine
        Jump "233" Return MoveBlock
        Jump  "1"  Return MarkLine
        Jump "232" Return MoveBlock
